I have created 2 textfields: an input textfield at level 0 with an instance name of input_txt and a dynamic txt box in a loaded movie at level 20 with an instance name of output_txt. How do I get the text that is input into level 0 to appear into the textbox at level 20?

I want to create a kind of "video player" that will allow me to move a playhead accross all theses SWF that are playing back to back. What I need to do is get the totalFrames of all these swf objects that are to be loaded. I tried loading each SWF (using the Loader class ofcoarse) and on the COMPLETE event grab the totalFrames and then move to the next SWF to populate an array that will be used to create a UI piece. The problem is that it starts playing the swf once it load and you can hear the background sound of each SWF. It also slows the program down. Is there anyway of grabbing the totalFrame property from external SWF's without actually having to load each SWF?

View 5 RepliesI've inherited a menu bar (www.ensim.com). You can see that when you hover over the buttons (most of them, anyway) you get a drop down with subnav links.
The way they did it was to populate the movie clip with text from an external .txt file, so you could easily add sub links and change urls and stuff. Nifty idea.
The problem is a new url I'm trying to add apparently contains an escape character that it doesn't like. The new url is "/index.asp?page=solutions&sec=voip". When that goes in there, it won't write the link lable (<a href="borked url">This doesn't show up</a>)
Sort of weird, I kind of assumed that, being a plain old txt file, it would just spit it out and move along.
How to read a variable from main.swf (that load content.swf) and use it inside content.swf?
I have a variable called TextColor = "Green" in the main movie and I want to read this variable from inside the content movie?
Just wondering if flash is able to do this using a 3rd party app perhaps? Im creating a flash application (closed source), and I want it for others to be able to customize the program in the means of changing text colors by editing the actionscript using an external .as file. Problem is, the external actionscript works, but it will only work when I recompile or republish the fla file in flash.
Looking for a way for flash to read the external .as file without using the fla file.
I currently have a flash video player and I want to add some code that will update a variable in an external .as or .txt file. I then want to be able to pull this variable into a different .swf when required.
My variable I want to create will be CurrentVideo and it needs to be a number e.g. _global.CurrentVideo = 2
I was wondering how you use Actionscript 2, to read a URL/web address in a XML file and when you click a button, or an icon, you are then taken to a page specified in the XML document?
View 2 RepliesIn my emptyMC, i'm calling a newsticker, that needs an external .as class to works propertly. But when it opens, it doesn't read my _x and _y coordinates and neither the .as.
My code to it, is in a frame:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("noticias", 2);
loadMovie("newsticker.swf", noticias);
noticias._y = -50;
noticias._x = 0;
In my first frame I have locked the root with:
this._lockroot = true and i has been working perfectly.
Also in the root in a frame i'm loading a music.swf.
for further doubts, just ask.
I'm working with Flash CS5 and AS2, Flash Player 8.0. It's a TM template.
I have an ActionScript driven flash project that displays a sequence of images. Currently I am using an array with the names of the images. Is there any way I can open a text file for reading and populate the array. Otherwise I would have to keep compiling the SWF each time.
View 6 RepliesI wish to create a glossary that is read from an external *.txt file. The glossary function like a dictionary in that there is a word, its definition, and a link to a relevent page where the word appears. e.g. <label="apple" def="that thing people eat" url="apple.txt"> The reason I want it external to flash is so that new words can be added and removed manually and flash will simply update. A user can type in a word to search for in the "sorted alphabetically" list within flash.

I need this application read from exteral xml file not in it.
I have a javascript on my website that is called on any click. The script reads the name of the clicked item. This works fine for all jpg/gif images with a name, but how can I name a flash movie in such a way that this script can read it? I tried several things, the name (and id) in the published parameters, the name of the instance, of the button, etc. But nothing works?

I have a swf with the following script:
XML_var = new XML();
// now load up the url.
XML_var.load("http://www.lick.fm/tracklist.xml");
// when xml is loaded call functon displayXML
[Code].....
This ascript reads an external xml file and picks up the tracklist names for current playing and previous playing songs on my radio station website. It works and looks perfectly fine but i need this to refresh every 30 seconds to read the dynamic xml file and update flash.
When loading an external XML file into flash, is it possible to read the XML declaration and other data such as xml-stylesheet? If so, how?
XML FILE
Code: Select all<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="books.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<content>
<book>Hello</book>
</content>
AS3:
Code: Select all//Set XML calls
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("xml/books.xml"));
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void {
var xml:XML =new XML(e.target.data);
When tracing, the XML declaration is gone, so I am not sure how to read or target it.
trace(xml);
}
Code:
var slideNo:Number;
slideNo = 0;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);

I am creating a CBT course using Flash CS4 As3. I need to capture progress information from the user as they complete each unit in the course so that the next time they access the course they can pick up where they left off. To do this I need to know how to write and retrieve this information to and from a text file or a cookie so that it can be retrieved re-enters the course.
View 2 Replies[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0;
//one loader object per project:
var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader();
loadingobject1.x = 445;

I'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'
